I wouldnt mind using Firefox, but there are so many things about it that make it wack, like the copy/paste issue, and the fact that not all audio files are compatible with it......besides, we have AOL and even though it has some things that make it gay too, it isn't as gay as firefox

Dude, you should see the flame I got yesterday...it RULED!!!!!!

I live for the FLAMES

Well I really like positive feedback, but my favorite kind of feedback is the flames.....they make me think about what I can do to get better. I know some people do it out of spite, but I still try to look for something useful in what they're saying and make my next chapter better than the one I posted the week before.

My thought of the day............. At least I can be who I am here on my blog. I've had a really rough last few days. I'm not going to lie about it. I found out that a problem that I thought was over and done with is still around, and it's been bugging me. So I took today and just spent it thinking about things. Schools about to start and I really don't want to have the same hard time I had last year when I was up until 2 in the morning doing my homework, so I decided to finally give in and let my dad have his way......I'm quitting my job. Also, I found out that I'm not going to be cleared to wrestle before Sept 5, so I'm going to miss this season. In a way though, I'm not too bothered by it. I mean, if God wanted me to wrestle this year, I would have passed my physical. I look at it like this....Not being cleared to wrestle was His way of getting me the medical attention I needed for my problem, which the cardiologist says isn't that big of a deal, but to be safe, he thinks I shouldn't play any sports for the time being. I'm also gonna get a note saying I can't do any physical activities this year for PE, so chances are I'll have to be a TA or something. I guess what I'm getting at is this...if you don't see me posting as much on the forums, don't be too suprised. I have a lot to think about, including my writing schedule. I've already set a goal of one chapter a week per story, which = 2 chapters a week worth of writing. So I'll be extra busy with that and with school. I think I'll have a pretty full plate. I'm not serving on the writers support sub committee anymore, either, but that doesn't mean I'm not here to help. If anyone needs any kind of help with their writing or with getting noticed, you can always come to me and I'm happy to help. I just don't think it's fair to be on that committee if I can't commit to doing that and writing and school.....one of those things is going to suffer, and that's not an option with school or with my writing. Anyway, it's like 2 in the morning and I'm ready to go crash, so I'm out.

w00t w00t .........congratualtions Krista....you're a friken awesome writer

Whoo hoo!!!! I'll even put my goat recipe book away today

I've decided to do something. I talked about it with quite a few people on this site and on other sites, and everyone agreed that it was a good idea, so here it is........ Im going to change Nick's Story Page. It's been a good site for me, and I've had a lot of exposure because of it. It get's hundreds of hits a day, and I think it can serve a greater good now...... From now on, Nick's Story Page belongs to new writers who are making an effort to improve and get noticed. I'm going to put some rules in place about having stories posted there, like being an active member of GA, and having your stories posted on e-fiction. Also, your work has to be edited, and I would like for writers to take advantage of some of the programs that are going to be rolled out soon by the If you're trying to get noticed, people come from all kinds of sites to Nick's Story Page , so you'd have great exposure and most likely a lot of readers. What I'm planning to do is to take down my individual story links and just post a link back to my main page. I also plan to leave the links that I have posted on the site for GA, CRVboy, RCWP and The Talon House. If you're a writer and intersted in having your writing or poems posted at Nick's Story Page, pm me or email me at nicksstorypage@gmail.com

Awwww...... How sweet of you....thanks guys. This makes a great day even more awesome that it's already been :ranger: :ranger: :ranger:

One year ago today I registered at Gay Authors after I finished reading The Log Way by Dom Luka, and the rest is history I found the Soap Box, then I found the rest of the forums, including The Library. The Soap Box is gone, The Library has been replaced by e-fiction, and it seems like there's all new people at the forums. I mean, there's a lot of people from last year, but it seems like a lot of the people who were here before have stopped posting, but in their place, some awesome new people came along and and registered. A year later I have my own (great) editor, my stories got hosted at CRVboy and RCWP and as of today, my one year aniversery at GA, I have my own spot on the shared hoted page at GA. I know I should shut up already about it but Im so excited I can hardly sleep. Anyway, I wanted to publicly thank my editor Talonrider for helping me get so far and for showing me things that I would have never known if he hadn't offered to be my editor. I also want to thank Joe for being so patient and for designing my page. He did a great job and I'm a little stunned when I look at it. I really had to stop and think about how much I've written and I never realized I had so much material. The most important people to thank, though, are my readers. You guys have been awesome. I get pm's, emails, ecards and encouragement from you all and I dont know if I would have ever been this motivated to write if it werent for all of that. From the very start, when i was posting What's The Difference on a xanga page, to when I started posting at the library and then at efiction, from CRVboy to RCWP, it's meant so much to me. I'll never be able to express how I really feel about the support I've gotten. To Kitty for doing such a good job on my anthology entries and for helping me get here, thank you and here's a To Mary from RCWP, the greatest webmistress of ALL time, and to Robb at CRVboy for givinig me my first chance to be hosted at a major site. Ok, Im gonna stop now because Im getting all emotional I just feel so blessed to have found not just GA, but the entire gay net authors communitty. To anyone who's thinking about writing and is unsure about whether they have what it takes, go to the Library and read what I had been posting when I first started. Trust me, you'll most likley blink and say, WTF???? lol...and then go for it.

OK, so if you haven't heard the news yet, I just made it to the shared hosted page on GA. I'm very excited and very nervous, but I'm more excited than anything. I've got a lot of writing to do, and I'm proud that I get to do it here.....I promised myself that I wasn't going to stop working until I made it to my own Hosted site at GA, and now that I'm almost there, I feel like it's time to turn things all the way up. there's only one problem I seem to be having..... I need to design a page and the program I was going to use, Presentations 12, is ultra wack So I'm off, in search of something better.....of course, getting that something better means either having someone do most of the work for me(which would make me feel bad because no one should have to) or begging my dad to buy a better program for me. (sighs) Trying to get my dad to spend anymore money on my computers going to be hard. I already told him that I wanted him to get me the Vista upgrade when it comes available, and he looked at me like I had an eyeball in the middle of my forehead or something. I could ask him to let me take some money out of savings, but that's going to be drama too So I'm going to keep looking for the next day or so, then I'm going to have to try to bust him down for what I need :2hands: I've gotten lot's of good feedback on Bodega Bay. Even a couple of the hosted authors have contacted me about it, so I know I'm moving in the right direction with it....it seems like I have good luck with anthology's Everytime I sit down to write a story, I end up with a chapter story and I have to start over on something new That's cool, though...I like starting on a short story and suddenly realizing that I have something I can work with that people might like :ranger: So, I'm almost done with chapter 3, then I have to get it edited and send it in Hopefully in the meanwhile I can get something figured out about building this page...wish me luck Kisses Nick

Happy Birthday Black Knight!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!!

Go to the Anthology section and you'll find a whole grip of finished stories

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I made the mistake this morning of sending chapter one to Nifty and I got a reply from them saying that they added it to the No Sex section of the site.....I guess that's kinda where it belongs, but it kinda ticks me off because no one goes to that part...it's the same place they buried Obligation To Myself, and I was a little pissed about that too..... I wrote a new poem today where I think I was finally able to come to terms with something thats had me depressed since I was a little kid and even though the poem looks like Im forgiving my dad, I think it's more about kicking myself in the head, forgiving myself and moving on. So anyway, Mary from RCWP built me a page for Bodega bay and I'm in love with it here's the link Bodega Bay Im really excited about working on this story again. I've found a direction to take it in that I feel really good about. Also, congrats to someone else who has an awesome page there too Anyway I just wanted to update this thing since i hardly do it as often anymore Kisses Nick

I've never been before, but I want too....btw, I love this line from your blog....Interesting fact: by 2029 everyone will be gay, according to a reseach

Aloha!...lol......tomorrow Im going to a Luau at Fort Story and I get the feeling it's gonna be awesome. Im a really hyped mood about it. Also, I finished My Jump Off for anyone who didn't know.....I posted the last chapter yesterday, then I posted chapter two of Bodega Bay this afternoon. I'm still working on chapter 31 of What's The Difference because I got a little sidetracked by My Jump Off and Bodega Bay. I was so excited about finally finishing a story that I my mind started to work a million miles a minute and I had all of these ideas for Bodega bay and I wanted to hurry up and get them all down before I forgot about them..lol. Also, I'm in the middle of a new short story that I actually worked out in my head on the plane on the way home from Cali. I woke up, looked around and saw everyone, and the whole thing just popped into my mind...I hope you all like it So anyway, in case you haven't seen it yet, you should go check out RCWP Mary hooked me up with two awesome pages with music. I have Your The Only One For Me by Brian Mc Knight playing on the one for My Jump Off and I have Beautiful By Christina Agulera playing on the one for Obligation To Myself. Also, I did a little editing work today..lol. I hope the person who's story I worked on likes it. I'm not exactly what someone would call a real editor(just ask anyone who reads my stuff before it's edited) but I'm always willing to help out where ever I can. So anyway, I got some really good feedback about the last chapter of My Jump Off, and I might decide to work on a sequel. I know it was only 10 chapters long, but considering that it was supposed to be a short story for the Spring Anthology, it ended up being pretty long I plan to have the next chapter of What's The Difference and the next Chapter of Bodega Bay finished by the end of the week, and hopefully, my short story can be finished by then too. Well, anyway, I'm out...I have to get ready for another card game. A couple of our friends came over last night and we played black jack and Rummy....I'm thinking that maybe I could just forget about getting a real job when I turn 18 and just move to Las Vegas or Atlantic City or something :king: :pickaxe: Kisses Nick

oooh, I wanna guess.......It means, Trying Not To Pee My Pants.....am I right????

Ok, so I'm in an extra good mood right now.....after a long hard struggle, I finally got myself hosted at another site...... RCWP. The webmistress, Mary, is a total sweetheart, and she's been doing so much to make sure I have a good page at her site. There are so many great authors there, and trust me, I can tell you from personal experience that it's a hard site to get hosted at. She does a great job there, and I'm proud that my stories are going to be read at that site. She hooked me up with the coolest design for my page, and it's even going to have music too (not yet). Ok, I have to ask Dom Luka something if he's reading.........WILL YOU MARRY ME???...lol. I friggen love TOSOM. I won't ruin the story for anyone who want's to read it by talking about it here, but trust me....if you haven't read it yet, go read it right now. Dom is truly the master, and all others shall bow at his feet As a matter of fact, I've stopped reading all other stories until the comepletion of this story. That includes With Trust. Maybe if we're lucky With Trust is gonna turn out like Dessert Dropping and when he does get back to it, it'll turn out to be his best ever. BTW, the July winners of the Nickolas James awards are listed to the right. Don't forget to congratulate the winners

Happy Birthday!!!!!!

We used to have a cat named Daisey, and we loved her. She came after we had our first dog, Skalaki, and she was the sweetest cat in the world. She used to love to be petted and to sleep in our beds. Then she started to get goofy on us. I think it started like a year after she came to live with us. She would purposely do bad stuff, just like Timmy, and we started making her stay outside. Well, after we did that she got better, so we let her come back in. But then, my cousin moved out and took Skalaki with him, so we got a new puppy, Shotgun. We left them alone in the house one day for like an hour and when we got home, we opened the front door to go inside and Daisy ran out the door as fast as she could and never came back again The moral??? Punish him. Maybe you can try putting him in a cage or putting him outside when he acts out. If he wants to come in he has to behave, but as soon as he acts out, putting him back outside. Maybe he'll learn.

Thanks Kevin....actually, i should have said that the reason it's gone is because they put in an intersection and a stoplight right there that wasn't there the last time. They're building houses so it looks like the roads going to take people to the new neighborhood. yeah, I'm almost done with the chapter, plus, I've made a lot of progress on My Jump Off too, so be expecting that to come out really soon

Thanks Anthony :hug:

Ok, I have a little confession to make.......... I've been depressed ever since we got home from California. I know what it has to do with, and it's really silly, but it still has me feeling bad. For as long as I can remember, we've always gone to the cross at the spot where my mom died and took flowers. When we lived in Cali we did it a lot, and every time we've gone back we've done it too. Well, the last time we went back was for my big papu's memorial, and we didn't go because we didn't have a lot of time. I really wanted to but my dad said we'd go for sure when we came back out. Well, last week we stopped and got flowers and we drove there, but the cross was gone. I know it's not the end of the world, but I feel like we missed our last chance to go there when we were out there in March. I mean, I know she's not buried there, but it's still symbolic to me for some reason. I feel like what happened there changed the course of my life and the lives of everyone else I love, and now there's nothing there to remember my mom by. Nothing to say, hey, in August of 1991 someones mother, someones daughter and someones girlfriend lost her life right here. Drive carefully. I thought I'd be okay about it, but the truth is, I feel horrible and dissapointed. I've been sleeping a lot since we came home and my dad got so worried about me that he said I have to be out of bed my 8 in the morning no matter what day it is because he doesn't want me sleeping all day. I'm really trying hard to move on but it's hard. So I'm sorry to everyone who's been waiting on the next chapter of My Jump Off, What's the Difference or Bodega Bay. I haven't really been in a writing mood, but today I finally sat down and got moving on What's the Difference. Sometimes I think writing that story is thereputic for me because it let's me live some of my memories, the good ones and the bad ones, and it let's me think about my life my families lives too. So I'll probably be working more on that than on My Jump Off for now, but I'll still get another chapter of My Jump Off out by next friday at the latest.
